Hi all,
Today's linux-next merge of the drm-misc tree got a conflict in:
drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_drv.h
between commit:
ebc9ac7c3dfe ("drm/vmwgfx: Update device headers")
from the drm-next tree and commit:
be4f77ac6884 ("drm/vmwgfx: Cleanup fifo mmio handling")
from the drm-misc tree.
I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary. This
is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned, but any non trivial
conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream maintainer when your tree
is submitted for merging. You may also want to consider cooperating
with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to minimise any particularly
complex conflicts.

I got confused for a bit how we managed a conflict here because vmwgfx
flows drm-misc.git -> drm.git -> linus. The 2nd patch is in
drm-misc-fixes, which makes sense, not in drm-misc-next like I assumed
at first drm-misc means.

I probably misidentified the tree when I was reporting things TBH -
there's so many DRM trees and they're constantly generating conflicts
that I sometimes rush through it a bit, especially for the simpler ones
like this.
